Wall of Text (lore if you want to read it):

Setting

Near-Future, Post-Apocalyptic/Post-Collapse Earth analogue world in the year 2247. Advanced technology is common among the city-states, but rarer in the wastelands. AI, robotics, cybernetics, drones, bioengineering and renewable energies. One hundred and twenty years after a world-wide climate crisis caused global instability, famines, wars, conflicts and mass displacement of the population.

Environment

Massive swaths of desert and scrub land reach across the center of the continent. Large portions of the glacial ice on the planet have melted. Old world coastal cities now lie mostly underwater. The spaces in between the few city-states have become wild and lawless. Decaying ruins of small towns, cities and suburbs spread across the landscape.

Factions

Nomads

A loosely organized culture of people who live outside the rule of the city-states. They travel across the landscape in large groups for protection, moving seasonally. Each band is usually led by one or more of it's elders. Band sizes range from a dozen to over 150 people at a time. Nomad culture is accepting of individuals. A person’s worth is based around their skills, capabilities and accomplishments.

Agiad

A totalitarian dictatorship and city-state. It’s run by the corporation Stability Security United (SSU/Stab Sec) and it's CEO, Durante Gage. Agiad society is insular, stratified and rigid. The lowest classes are little more than servants or laborers. The upper classes are made of high-ranking military officers or management from within the SSU corporation.

Seres

Once a city-state like Agiad, with it's own cadre of wealthy, resource hoarding leaders. They were overthrown and exiled by the people of Seres. Today, Seres is an agrarian, egalitarian society with a bartering or gift economy. While fairness is important, in Seres they take care of their own. There's a small decentralized city or hub, surrounded by smaller satellite settlements/communities. They protect themselves and their neighbors. All citizens are trained in basic security, with strong tenets of mutual defense.

Thaenes

A city-state and a totalitarian democracy that blends free-market capitalism with coercive control, propaganda, and restricted civil liberties. Power is concentrated in a stratified system led by an elected Overseer, currently Calliope Ariti, and supported by differing governmental branches. There's suffrage for Thaenes-born people only. Law enforcement is harsh, corrupt, and often nepotistic, punishing dissent with prison or exile. Bread and circuses abound, entertainment and spectacle pacify unrest in a society where the weak are cast aside and repression simmers beneath the surface.
